Dear reader,

 

I want to know if it is possible (if yes, how) to connect FME with an Azure File Storage with OAuth. The Azure connection transformer, AzureFileStorageConnector seem to not have a Oauth connection possible. Is this true and are there other ways to make an Oauth connection to Azure File Storage in FME Desktop?

Hi @thomas89​ ,

 

There is no support for Azure AD (and thus support for OAuth2.0) in this transformer currently. There is however, an internal request to support Azure AD with AzureBlobStorageConnector. I've requested to look into including the AzureFileStorageConnector, but I'm not too confident that it is even possible. Although Azure AD supports OAuth 2.0, based on this documentation, Azure Files (REST) does not support Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for authorizing access to data, and therefore I don't think it is possible to connect with OAuth2.0.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience.
